Yes...even better than Jordan! Happy 77th to Bill Russell. I'm still embarrassed that the city of Boston has absolutely nothing honoring this guy and his brilliant career! 11 championships in 13 years is simply astonishing.

Also someone who is overlooked....Pete Maravich

Best ball handler, and passer I ever saw....Highest BB IQ this side of Larry Bird. And played for the Celtics late in career.

Pistol Pete was a prolific shooter but he along with everyone else can't be mentioned with Russell. Russell is the only guy in the history of the four major U.S. sports who has more rings than he has fingers. All you need to know about Russell is that as great as Jordan was, Russell won almost twice as many (11 for Russell versus 6 for Jordan) championships.
